Nainai's Mountain

內容簡介

內容簡介 一個台裔美國小女孩對於去台灣這件事情感到很緊張——直到她的父親母親（Nainai）帶她展開了一次登山冒險，並向她展示了台灣的奇妙。第一次從加利福尼亞飛到台灣，雖然有父母和Nainai陪著，但對小女孩來說還是有點難以消化。飛機長得像是永遠也到不了，她看不懂任何的標誌，還擔心會遇到不熟悉的昆蟲。但隨著Nainai成為她的導遊，台灣開始變得不一樣。當他們氣喘吁吁地爬上Nainai最喜愛的山，肚子裡滿是包子和多汁的香腸時，Nainai開始講述她坐人力車去看電影、吃冷凍鳳梨和玩彈珠機贏零食的故事。甚至那些昆蟲也變得比她想像的更酷，並不那麼可怕。在山頂上意外的驚喜等著她：各種各樣的人們在玩耍和鍛煉——而且他們都記得Nainai。當大家認出她是「你的 granddaughter！」時，小女孩心中充滿了自豪。A Taiwanese-American girl is nervous about visiting Taiwan— until her paternal grandmother, her Nainai, takes her on a mountain-climbing adventure and shows her its wonders.Traveling from California to Taiwan for the first time, even with her parents and her Nainai around her, is a lot for a little girl to take in. The plane ride lasts forever, she can’t read any of the signs, and she’s worried there will be unfamiliar bugs.But then Nainai becomes her tour guide, and Taiwan transforms. As they huff and puff up Nainai’s favorite mountain, stomachs full of bao and juicy sausage, Nainai spins yarns about riding to the movies in pedicabs, eating frozen pineapple, and playing pinball to win snacks. Even the bugs turn out to be more cool than scary.At the top of the mountain is a surprise: all sorts of people playing and exercising—and they all remember Nainai. The little girl is filled with pride when they can tell just who she is: “your granddaughter!”
